As many of us are One Tree Hill fans, we all know the countless number of empowering quotes there are in the show throughout the marvelous nine seasons. Here are a few that particularly stood out and capture One Tree Hill as a whole.

1. "It's the oldest story in the world. One day, you’re seventeen and planning for someday. And then, quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.” –Nathan Scott

As all of us One Tree Hill lovers know, Nathan Scott is a very true and down to earth character who gives eye-opening advice throughout the show. He mentions how quick time truly goes and how it will pass you up without you ever really noticing.

2. “People always leave, but sometimes they come back.” –P. Sawyer

Peyton Sawyer constantly had people walking in and out of her life in the show. As time went on she realized that in life, we always have the one’s that walk out; but the ones who walk back in are supposed to be in our lives and are meant to be there most.

3. “People are going to label you. It’s how you overcome those labels, that’s what counts.” - B. Davis

Brooke Davis was extremely labeled throughout her beginning seasons on the show. However, as the seasons went on she became more than what her labels defined her as; she became class president, than went on to creating her own multi-million- dollar fashion company. She always enforced that the labels do not and will never define us; our actions will show and overall allow us to show who we really are.

4. .“Because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you’ve been, and remember the person you were meant to be, the person you wanted to be, the person you are.” -One Tree Hill

One Tree Hill is constantly reminding us to be the person we truly desire to be. In life, we tend to find ourselves wrapped up in day-to-day situations that have our minds deterred away from who we truly want to be. We are often sidetracked by the small situations in life that we often don’t think about the important things. Sometimes it is in our best interest to step outside ourselves and think about the things we do who we want to truly be.

5. “Make a wish. Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it with all your heart.” -One Tree Hill

Dreams are limitless. It is only the thoughts in our heads that block us from striving to be who we want to be and what we want to achieve. Believe in your dreams and wishes with all of your heart, because at the end of the day it is your life and you’re the only one who can control it.
